Light at the End of the Tunnel?

Have you ever had the feeling that everything around you is breaking apart and you actually have no solid ground to walk on. The feeling that at any moment the smallest most insignificant thing can throw you over the edge.
Well, for the past year I've had that feeling.
First off, December 21 2008 marked the end of my three year relationship with my ex-boyfriend Mike. After that everything & everyone, just seemed to come, go, and change in a matter of days and minutes. Nothing ever truly real to grasp to.
This last semester has proved that more then anything else. Sure, I met a lot of great people - that I hope to remain friends with for a long period of time- however, as the days come and go nothing seems to be changing- or better but yet everything is in constant flux.
As noted in the previous blog, I've been in a whirlwind of emotion do to a guy and I guess much of my confusion is caused by him. However, I cannot seem to think there has to be more.
Its exam time right now, so I'm stressed out on top of everything else, and the smallest things get me upset and unfocused- such as last night when my mom called me and told me I broke the family camera and my parents need it for their trip this upcoming Saturday.
This trip I speak of is to Mexico, five star hotel that I was supposed to join but unfortunately have an exam the following Monday, go figure.
Furthermore, I decided to cram all studying during the week and have a little party on the Saturday when they leave, so excited about that. N0thing can fix stress, like getting drunk with a good crowd of friends. But how can you party when your mom calls you on the Wednesday and tells you your Grandma in Poland had a stroke that day and its not looking good?
While ranting to my friend today she said something that inspired this blog, "the rise is always after the greatest fall" - if this is true I think I've hit rock bottom and more, can I have the rise now?
